It ne Democratic state COnven'
tiOn. The Last Word.

We are in receipt of an elegantly |
prepared program, issued by the Com
nittee of arrangements haying in
charge the entertainment of the dele |
gates and visitors to the Democratic
State Convention, to be held at Cleve
land July Goth and 2ist. The general
has been placed in charge
of Hon. Echo M. Heisley. whose well
known tact and energy insures proper
attention to all strangers. No similar
event has attracted SO much general
interest for many years. The possible,
even probable. reaPpearance of Judge
Thurman as the Democratic Standard
bearer, makes the Democrats smile,
and the Republicans morOse. 1t is
now announced that the different DEM
ocratic Clubs from franklin County
will attend the Convention in body,
headed by the Thurman Club, waving
their :. Red Bandanas."
If, however, the Old Roman refused
to be drafted. no better man could be
named for Governor than Gen. Thos
E Powell, who will undoubtedly re
ceive the nomination in the event OF
Thurman q final refusal to have his
name presented. There has been some
talk of drafting Gen. Powell for Lieut..
Governor if Thurman is placed at the
head of the ticket. Such q nomina-
ton, in the light of other events sure
to transpire, would be q mistake. The
present State Auditor, who will be re-
nominated, lives in Columbus, Thur
man lives in Columbus, Powell, while
nominal resident of Delaware, is
practically Columbus man, in which
city he has his law Office, and where
he substantially resides, and to which
city he will presently permanently
| remove. Three candidates from the
same city, on the State ticket would
be " crowding things" considerably
| We have full faith that Gen. Powell
| will put his quietus upon any such
proposition. If the Convention is wiss
| it will nominate d. G. Goldman fol
Lieut.. Governor with either of thu
other candidates for Governor. A
Democratic vote is as valuable to thu
State ticket if cast in the 18th Distric
as if polled in strong Democratic
borough. With a proper recognitioI
of the past efforts of the brave Democ
racy of this Republican section, sub
stantial Democratic gain is assured
It cannot be too often reiterated, tina
Portage County has NEVER had can
didate upon the Democratic Stat
ticket. II Judge Thurman should b

many reasons not heretofore stated
but which will occur to the thinking
politicians of the State, why OUR can
didate for Lieut.. Governor. Dewitt Z
Goldman, would add strength and har
mony to the whole ticket. No bette
selection can be made in any event
and we sincerely hope the Convention
will recognize our claims to its consid
aratiop, and put new life into tn

Facts I'm Favor of Bi.


First.-That both Gold and Silver
have been used rs money from the
earliest ages; and that the ratio OF
value between the two metals has
changed but little in 5000 years.
Second That the increase in the
quantity of the precious metals has
not kept pace with the increase of pop
ulation, aud the increase of commerce
and trade.
Third-That in order for any metal
to form a basis of value as money, there
must be enough of it for that purpose
Fourth.-That history proves there
has been enough of gold and silver
combined to serve mankind as a basis
of value through all ages. but there
has not been enough of either metal
alone,
Fifth That the effort to demone-
tie silver and establish a gold basis
alone, has resulted in untold disaster
to the people of every nation that has
attempted it.
Sixth.-That the true basis of value
is gold and silver basis-that it is the
most permanent and gives to nations
the greatest degree Of prosperity

The striking feature of the wheat
crop is its unevenness. not only in
different parts of the State, but also
in townships. In general we note
that the fiat lands have the lightest
crop. The central and northwestern
counties show low averages. Scioto
county reports l02, Hardin, go. The.
four counties adjoining Scioto show
an average of Ss; the seven adjoining
Hardin an average of 20. Cuyahoga
county shows 80, its six adjoining
so. and these groups may lie
considered as fairly representing the
crop in the Southern, Middle and
Northern belts,
A pamphlet report will be published
by August 10. 1t will also contain a
complete report of fertilizers analysed
and licensed to be sold in the State.
Correspondents are requested to
promptly return the August figures

The most interesting and significant

The most interesting and significant
protest against Senator Sherman's sec
tionaf TRADE in his recent Springfield
speech, comes from the Greensboro IN.
c. North State, one OF the few Republi-
can papers in the South. This journal
says that the Republicans of the South
know all about the meaning of in
timidation, bulldozing, ostracism, etc. !"
but that " they are willing to forgive
and anxious to forget" and it wants
to know /" why should public men in
the North seen to perpetuated the an.
imosities ?" 1t holds that any such
line of policy as Senator Sherman ad
vocated in his Springfield speech will
counteract the tendency in the South
to bury all past differences" and it
expresses bitter regret that a man
whom it considers zone of the guiding
stars of the nation" should take n
stand which can only result in keep
ing the South solid for the Democracy.

Charles Summer is generally looked
upon AS beng man of more than or

And yet if he were alive today the
Republican newspat. .ers that are howl.
ing like dogs that bay the moon, over
the rebel flag order, would be assailing
him-that is to be consistent they
would. Mr.. Sumner, when member
OF the Senate, lent his power to secure
the passage of law prohibiting North
ern troops from having inscribed on
the flags they carried, the names of
battles they had engaged in. Mr.
sumner argued that it only served to
keep alive the memory of the civil
strife, and that such action on both
sides was only to he compared to the
shaking of red flags in the eyes of al,
ready enraged bulls. OF course Mass.
achusetts raved, and such hubbub az
was raised last week, existed on q
smaller scale. But there are many
men of both parties who believe that
Sumner was right, and that the sooner
all reminders of the. unpleasant past
are swept away the sooner shall we
have an undivided country.

A WASHINGTON correspondent Of the
Cleveland Leader, who was evidently an
invited guest st Senator Kenna's great
deer feast writes in this humorous vein to
bis paper: Nm eoms quarters it is said
that Senator Kenns, Of West Virginia, is
coming up as the possible nominee of the
Democratic party for President in 1888.
Wes: Virginia is drifting toward the Re-
publican party, and it is thought that
Senator Kenna, on account OF his great
popularity in that State, could draw a
large Republican vote. Since becoming a
Senator, Kenna has shown marked ability
and is evidently rising man, and some
Democrats think they might do worse
than selecting him as their candidate for
the White House." u~t ista
There is no doubt that the Senator is q
rising young man; in fact yeast hasn't
half the aspiring powers, but to climb a
ladder and pull the ladder up after ones
sell is quite another thing. A man may
csrve deer with his horns on and glass
eyes after he has been roasted over hot
fire, but face 10 face with this noble dem
izen Of our forests in all his capricioun
and agile movements in life the amiable
Senator might not iud his job 80 easy or
his task 80 light. Mr.. Kenna will no
doubt smile himaclt when he reads the
paragraph above mentioned.
